Hannah: What about professional relationships with people whose clinical experiences and/or philosophy are very different from your own? You mentioned support from professionals and parents who believe our methodology. I know there are professionals with whom I have interacted who have practiced very differently from me (and likely whose clinical expertise is very different from mine). Maybe cultivating that type of relationship is one way that we could become more enthusiastic about an approach? That is, the conversation we may have with someone in which we examine a treatment approach may be more motivating and valid than an internal dialogue in which we potentially avoid asking difficult questions.
